//The Wire Weekly Rollup//April 7-13, 2024//-----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Tensions remain high in anticipation of the Iranian response to the Israeli strike on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. The timing for such retaliatory actions is not known, though Israeli forces have been warning of a potential imminent ballistic missile attack for about a week. American forces throughout the region have also been maneuvered into more strategic positions, probably to attempt the interception of Iranian ballistic missiles when the attack does occur.As the world awaits the latest escalation of the conflict, Iran seized a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz this week. The M/V MSC ARIES was seized while attempting to transit the maritime chokepoint, signaling a potential escalation of the conflict with regards to maritime targeting. AC: Though the hijacking of commercial shipping is very commonly conducted by Iranian forces, the ships normally hijacked are oil tankers, which are targeted for financial reasons. The seizure of a container ship is new, and may signal a change in Iranian policy with regards to the Strait of Hormuz waterway.-HomeFront-USA: The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to renew Section 702 of FISA. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to pass.New York: The M/V APL QINGDAO lost propulsion while transiting the Kill Van Kull waterway at approximately 08:30 pm Sunday evening. The QINGDAO lost power just north of the Verrazzano Bridge, but tugboats were able to bring the vessel under control before any damage occurred.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though the actions of American politicians in Congress are not surprising, the public nature of the corruption and obvious bribery/blackmail surrounding the renewal of Section 702 is quite concerning. The lack of any concern whatsoever about the perception of corruption strongly indicates that very little rule of law remains a part of the American political system, with factional allegiance, interest groups, blackmail, and open bribery being the primary means by which policy is conducted, publicly.For instance, many Congressmen report that AG Garland personally called them to pressure elected officials to vote for the renewal. Likewise, Speaker Johnson himself was against the renewal at first, but immediately became one of its most ardent defenders following one single “intelligence briefing”. The truth of the matter is blatantly clear; federal agencies are strong-arming Congressmen openly and publicly instead of behind closed doors as was customary in the past.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

//The Wire//1930Z April 9, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOLLOWING MULTIPLE INCIDENTS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Following the events surrounding the targeting of the Iranian Embassy compound in Damascus, tensions remain throughout the region in many respects. Tensions in Gaza remain elevated as Israeli strikes continue and the invasion of Rafah enters the final planning steps. Of note, Israeli forces have withdrawn from Gaza substantially, possibly to allocate forces for the invasion of Rafah, and possibly to prevent becoming overstretched in the North as an additional front opens up in the South. Conversely, as Ramadan draws to an end, an increase in targeting is expected (and has been announced) by Hamas and Hezbollah, with uncertain levels of confidence in their ability to make good on their threats. AC: Most American pundits have also threatened an increased likelihood that Iran will directly attack the United States in response to the Iranian Embassy strike. Though U.S. bases in Syria will almost certainly receive increased levels of indirect fire attacks, diplomatically, a larger more direct attack on the U.S. makes little sense in this specific instance. From the Iranian perspective, Israel is the nation that directly attacked them, so Israel shall be the target, purely out of the desire to save face in the international community. As to what the Iranian response will be, ballistic missile attacks are the most logical attack vector, but anything goes at this point.-HomeFront-Idaho: Saturday afternoon the FBI arrested Alexander Mercurio at his parent's house after he allegedly planned to provide materiel support to ISIS. He had allegedly been a part of various online communities supportive of ISIS, and had allegedly been planning to conduct an attack at a church.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the raid on Mercurio's home, no evidence indicating an imminent threat was found. However, several of his father's firearms (which were stored in a locked closet) were seized. According to the criminal complaint, Mercurio had been under surveillance for almost two years. As he is currently 18 years old, this means that he was under federal surveillance since he was a minor. As a result, it is difficult to determine if this case was a legitimate case of potential terrorism. Considering the current trends involving similar cases, much discernment is called for when examining the particulars of this case, and how the entire situation began in the first place. It is remarkable how many cases arise when an underage individual (usually with some sort of mental disability, though that is not clear in this specific case), attempts to engage in illegal activity online, and on their very first try always end up communicating directly with a federal informant.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

//The Wire Weekly Rollup//March 31 – April 6, 2024//-----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Syria: Sunday night, Israeli forces struck a building immediately adjacent to the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. The Iranian Embassy proper was damaged in the strike, and further investigation of the strike location indicates the building was an annex of the official Embassy and located within the confines of the Embassy compound (and thus within the area of Iranian diplomatic protection). Three Iranian generals were killed in the strike, along with a few staff officers.Taiwan: Several earthquakes struck the island Monday night, causing widespread damage. The most substantial earthquake registered a magnitude of 7.2, the largest recorded earthquake to strike the nation since 1999. So far, the official death toll is 13 fatalities, though this number may rise as many still-missing persons become accounted for.Belgium: During the NATO summit in Brussels, U.S. SECSTATE Blinken stated definitively that Ukraine will join NATO. AC: A timeline for this event was not given, nor were any details provided as to how this will happen as this seems to be a technical impossibility (for many reasons) at present.-HomeFront-Tennessee: An arson incident occurred at the Global Vision Bible Church in Wilson County at around 6:00 am Easter Sunday. A metal trailer filled with Holy Bibles was set on fire outside the front entrance of the church. Local authorities confirm the incident was intentional and no arrests have been made, despite security footage capturing the license plate of the vehicle that dropped off the trailer.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Regarding the Iranian Embassy strike, confusion continues as to mere centimeters of ground regarding the exact survey points of a compound in Damascus. However, as with nearly all Israeli airstrikes, what is absolutely clear is that the strike was conducted within the bounds of what is normally considered in the kinetic targeting community to be a CAT 1 No-Strike Entity (NSE). Additionally, the Collateral Damage Estimation (CDE) analysis of the potential Civilian Casualties (CIVCAS) caused by the chosen munitions without question confirm that, had it been carried out under U.S. regulations set forth in U.S. military law (and in Joint Publication 3-60), this strike would have been illegal. In any case, the diplomatic implications are quite severe, regardless of a few centimeters difference of diplomatic soil. If Israel had struck these generals as they stood on the sidewalk in front of the Embassy compound, the diplomatic impact would be virtually the same; worsening relations among two nations who already suffer from intense rivalry and vastly competing interests.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

World Central Kitchen (WCK), one of the few aid groups distributing food in Gaza, has suspended its work there, along with others. The move comes on the heels of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike that killed seven WCK workers after they left a warehouse in two armored cars. And, Israel's airstrikes on WCK workers and the Iranian Embassy annex in Syria are drawing criticism from the international community over a potential violation of the rules of war. We hear how the IDF selects its targets and whether its standards over civilian protections may have changed. Also, the three most commonly spoken languages in the world after English are Mandarin, Spanish and Hindi. But a new study shows that two popular chatbots are not always giving correct medical information when they provide answers to questions asked in those languages.

COLORADO BILL TO GRANT ILLEGALS IDENTITY DOCUMENTS ADVANCES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Syria: Last night Israeli forces struck a building immediately adjacent to the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. The main structure of the Iranian Embassy was partially damaged in the strike, while the building adjacent was demolished, killing three Iranian generals and several other military leaders/advisors. AC: Iran claims the building was a diplomatic wing of their Embassy compound, whereas Israel claims it was a commercial building. Though this detail is extremely important, independent verification is challenging due to the highly dense urban terrain. Of note, the former Canadian Embassy is also next door to the struck compound (Canada having ceased its diplomatic mission in Syria during the war). In any case, this is undoubtedly a strong escalation in an already very tense conflict.-HomeFront-USA: Emerging court documents that are part of an anti-trust lawsuit allege that Meta/Facebook not only has access to allegedly encrypted private messages, but also sold users' private messages to Netflix as part of a data sharing agreement. AC: Though the exact details of these latest allegations are not possibly verifiable without a forensic audit of Facebook's systems, Facebook was designed from the ground up to be an intelligence collection platform, as overwhelmingly indicated by hundreds of leaks, whistleblower testimonies, and governmental spying scandals over the years.Colorado: The Colorado Road and Community Safety Act (SB24-182) has passed the Senate judiciary committee and has been forwarded to appropriations. AC: The only function of this three-page bill, despite it's name, is to allow illegal immigrants to obtain a Colorado driver's license. The bill as it currently stands also does not require illegals to be residents of Colorado to obtain a driver's license. Though this seems very common among many states at this point, it is important to remember that Colorado also recently implemented their Automatic Voter Registration system, which automatically registers all persons who obtain a driver's license to vote.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: It is unclear as to what potential fine-print is contained in Colorado's SB24-182 as it pertains to other existing laws. The text of the bill is clear enough, but as almost all laws contradict other laws and the Constitution itself, it's almost certain that this bill will contradict existing legal precedent on the matter. Common sense would dictate that surely a driver's license law cannot overrule Constitutional rights. However, in all 50 states citizens are finding out that when the rubber meets the road, the text of a law doesn't really matter in practice. From an information warfare perspective, the intent is clear. First create the automatic voter registration system, then change the definitions of who the law applies to. Changing definitions and requirements is a classing hallmark of mission-creep, and if passed, it would be prudent to assume that this would at minimum move the goalposts when it comes to voting rights in Colorado.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

I and many other people in the productivity world talk a lot about planning your day. However, what happens when your plans are frequently destroyed by other people?

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. As the Scottish poet Robert Burns once wrote “The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley”. “Gang aft agley” can be translated as go awry. This means that no matter how well you plan your day or week, things are not going to go according to plan. Similarly, one of my favourite quotes that is often attributed to Mike Tyson is, “Everyone has a plan until they are punched in the face.” And it's so true. One of the reasons so few people actually do a daily or weekly plan is because they believe that no matter what they plan, it is going to be torpedoed once they begin the day. A simple text message or email can derail the whole day. Yet, I still believe it is important to have a plan. Without a plan, you will be waiting for others to give you something to do. You will feel lost and never get anything important to you done, and you are guaranteed to build horrendous backlogs. This leads me to this week's question, and for that, it means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice. This week's question comes from Sasha. Sasha asks, Hi Carl, what tips do you have for me to harden my system so that it doesn't constantly wobble when life experiences significant deviations outside of the planned week? Hi Sasha, thank you for your question. Now, I know there is a little more background to your question. Specifically, managing two young children and both yourself and your wife working full time. So with that in mind the first problem people face is with being too structured. What I mean by this is being too specific about what you want to get done each day. Most of the things we want to get done around the house do not really need to be done on a specific day. For instance, I like to give my home office a really good clean on a Saturday morning, but more often than not something will come up that prevents me from being able to do that. Now if I want to follow my calendar religiously, it would annoy me if I was prevented from doing what I had planned, but really, does my office need a good clean specifically on a Saturday morning? No of course not. It would be nice, but it really doesn't matter if I do it on Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon. The only thing that really matters is at some point in the week I do it. (But even then that is debatable). This problem can be exacerbated if you have young kids. With kids under the age of 13, there's no way you will be able to maintain a well structured home. Kids were born with the natural ability to destroy all well intentioned plans. And that's fantastic. It's all part of the experience of raising children. If it didn't happen, you'd miss out on one of life's joys. I can promise you on the day your kids turn 13 you will miss all that disruption. Your kids are going to go from being entirely dependent on you to wanting to have nothing to do with you as they go through adolescence. For most of you, I hope, your family comes first. This means if you get irritated because a family member ungently, and unexpectedly, needs you you should be happy. It might be inconvenient, but family comes first. There's no debate. If there is a debate, then perhaps family (or this particular family member) is not really your number one. One thing I've learned over the years is as soon as you involve another living creature in your plans, you are going to need to be flexible. My wife, for example, has no concept of time when it comes to family plans. She's spot on with her time when it comes to friends or strangers, but when it comes to her family, her buffer is two or three hours. I remember not long after being married I used to have to lie to her about when we needed to be at the airport. If check in time was at 9:00am I would tell her it was 8:00am. This meant we were able to build buffer time into our plans. Today, she's much better—I must have coached her well, but it did take ten years to get her to that state. And there will always be the unexpected. As you say, kids get sick and that changes everything. Now, as you both work, what contingency plans do you have in place for when a child cannot go to school or daycare centre? This is critical because you cannot plan for a child being sick. This is contingency planning and as soon as the decision to keep you child at home, what needs to happen? Do you call your parents and ask them to take care of your child, or does one of you need to stay at home? Ensuring your contingency plan is in place and ready to roll should the unexpected happen will save you a lot of stress and panic. Now the question arises; what do you do with all the work you had planned to do when the unexpected takes over your day? Well, if you are planning for the week, all it means is you reschedule what you wanted to do to some other time in the week. It's likely you will have a few days to reschedule things over and you may be able to renegotiate some of your commitments. A few years ago we had a family emergency that became apparent at 7:30am. I had a full day of work planned, yet this was family and I immediately took action to deal with the emergency. This essentially destroyed my plan for the day and the repercussions continued into the next day. However, I was able to sit down for ten minutes later in the afternoon and I messaged my appointments scheduled for the next day to tell them I was going to be unable to attend. I was then able to get back to the emergency. The most important thing is you deal with the issue in front of you first and once everything is back under control, you can review what you have on your plate and reschedule where necessary. Life is never going to be a straight line and no matter how well planned you are, things are going to go wrong. In a previous episode I spoke with Simon Jeffries, former UK Special Forces officer and Simon mentioned about when in the special forces you know before you begin things are not going to go according to plan. However, the important thing is to know precisely what you objective is and you stay focused on accomplishing that. Special forces soldiers do consider everything that could go wrong and what they would do in those situations, but the most important thing is they keep their eye on the objective. If you have ever seen the news footage of the the British SAS storming the Iranian Embassy in 1980, you may have seen one of the SAS soldiers getting caught in the rope he was descending on. His colleagues did their best to cut him down, but the mission still went on. They dealt with the emergency quickly and as efficiently as possible then got straight back to doing what they had planned to do. It's this approach we want to be bringing to our lives too. Things are not going to go according to plan. However, when you are clear about what must be done that day, you put yourself in a much stronger position because you are more focused and disruptions will just bounce off you. Now you don't want to be setting yourself too many objectives. I only set myself one or two. I know that I will get those done 99% of the time. Yesterday was a very disrupted day, yet I had two things to complete. I needed to go to the bank and record and edit my YouTube video. My wife woke up feeling rather unwell, so I took her to the doctors. While she was there I realised I could call in to the bank, so I did that (there's long queues at this time of the year to see a doctor). Once done at the bank, I picked my wife up from the doctors. I had to go to the pharmacy to get her prescription once I'd got her home and tucked up in bed. After a short sleep, my wife was feeling a lot better, so I was able to pick up the video recording and editing. There are other things on my list for the day, and a few of those I needed to reschedule, but when I finished for the day, I was surprised how much I'd actually got done. The important thing is not to panic. Accept the disruption for what it is, a disruption that needs to be dealt with then move back onto your objectives. Things will always calm down and return to normal, so there really is no need to panic. If meetings need to be postponed or cancelled, get on and do it as soon as you can. If planned work needs to be rescheduled, then do that. Just don't overthink things. The great thing about having a plan for the week (because you did a weekly planning session) you have a plan to get back on to. This means no matter what disruptions that come your way, you only need a few minutes to review your plan and decide what still must be done and what can be renegotiated. In worst case scenarios, you may feel the need to do a weekly planning session to get yourself back on track. That's okay. Sometimes that's the wisest thing to. I think over the last year, I've had to do that once or twice. It's not something you will need to do often, but if you feel that's the only way you will get back on track, then by all means do it. You'll feel a lot better and much more focused. I hope that helps, Sasha. Thank you so much for your question. It just remains for me now, to wish you all a very very productive week.

Fear as Éirinn scaoilte saor ón bpríosún san Iaráin. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tánaiste Micheál Martin, has confirmed that a man from Ireland who was being held in prison in Iran has been released and that he has left that country this afternoon. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an Aire Gnóthaí Eachtracha, an Tánaiste Micheál Martin, go bhfuil fear as Éirinn a bhí á choinneáil i bpríosún san Iaráin scaoilte saor agus go bhfuil sé imithe as an tír sin tráthnóna. Bernard Phelan, who is 64 years old and originally from Clonmel, Co Tipperary, had spent over six months in prison. Bhí os cionn sé mhí caite sa phríosún ag Bernard Phelan atá 64 bliain d'aois agus arb as Cluain Meala, Co Thiobraid Árann, ó dhúchas é. He is a citizen of both Ireland and France. Saoránach de chuid na hÉireann agus na Fraince araon atá ann. The Iranian Embassy in Ireland announced this morning that Bernard Phelan had been released from prison "on consular and humanitarian grounds". D'fhógair Ambasáid na hIaráine in Éirinn ar maidin inniu gur scaoileadh saor Bernard Phelan ón bpríosún "ar bhonn consalachta agus daonnúlachta". Bernard Phelan is a travel consultant who lives in Paris and was arrested in Iran last October. Comhairleoir taistil atá ina chónaí i bPáras is ea Bernard Phelan agus gabhadh é san Iaráin i mí Dheireadh Fómhair seo caite. He was accused of spreading propaganda against the Iranian Government, and in February he was sentenced to six and a half years in prison. Cuireadh ina leith go raibh bolscaireacht in aghaidh Rialtas na hIaráine á craobhscaoileadh aige, agus i mí Feabhra gearradh príosún sé bliana go leith air. Micheál Martin said today that the story hurt Bernard Phelan's father, who is 97 years old, and his sister Caroline very much.

He revealed that Bernard Phelan is now on his way to Paris, where he will undergo a medical assessment. Thug sé le fios go bhfuil Bernard Phelan ar a bhealach go Páras anois, áit a ndéanfar measúnú leighis air. French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the Iranian Government's decision to release Bernard Phelan. Chuir Uachtarán na Fraince Emmanuel Macron fáilte roimh chinneadh Rialtas na hIaráine Bernard Phelan a scaoileadh saor. According to the human rights organization Amnesty, Bernard Phelan is entitled to compensation from the Iranians because he was wrongfully imprisoned by them. Dar leis an eagraíocht cearta daonna Amnesty go bhfuil Bernard Phelan i dteideal cúiteamh a fháil ó na hIaránaigh mar go raibh sé á choinneáil i bpríosún san éagóir acu.

Protesters burned headscarves and passports and defaced the sign outside the Iranian embassy in Wellington today - calling it a "terrorist embassy". There have been widespread protests in Iran for weeks, in response to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in custody after being arrested for violating the country's dress code. This week, our government was accused of pulling its punches in condemning Iran's crackdown on protesters - while it negotiated the release of two travel bloggers detained in Iran. Today in Wellington, around 50 people demonstrated outside the embassy and called on the international community to do more. Our political reporter Anneke Smith was there.

Prior to May 5, 1980, the world was largely unaware that the UK's SAS (Special Air Service), or any elite special operations units, existed at all. Six days earlier, terrorists had stormed the Iranian Embassy in London and taken 21 hostages. As the situation was being covered on live TV around the world, the SAS attacked the embassy. HBH is honored to be joined by two members of that elite SAS team, Pete Winner and Sekonaia ‘Tak' Takevisi.The terrorists had not anticipated a violent response to their actions. However, what they received when UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave ‘Operation Nimrod' the go ahead, was the full force of the most precise military instrument at her disposal: the SAS. The SAS made an example of the terrorists for all the world to see. As a result, overnight, the SAS, also known as ‘The Regiment', became famous around the world - a world that did not know soldiers of this caliber existed.We thank Pete and Tak for taking the time to join us and reliving their experience from the day that put special forces on the map, permanently.Pete Winner is the author of his bestselling memoir ‘SOLDIER, I', which he wrote with Michael Kennedy.

Orberwarna

Spell of the Day

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 2, 2021 1:47

Orberwarna is a first level evocation spell with a range of ninety feet and a material requirement of a diamond at least a half carat in size. Orberwarna shoots a four-inch diameter sphere from the wand. Upon impact, the sphere produces a blinding flash of light of around seven million candela and a percussive sound of about one hundred seventy decibels. The flash momentarily activates all photoreceptor cells in the eye, blinding it for approximately five seconds. Afterward, the victim sees an afterimage that impairs his or her aim. The loud blast temporarily deafens the victim and disturbs the fluid in the ear, causing loss of balance. The concussive blast of the detonation can injure, and the heat created can ignite flammable materials such as fuel. During the Iranian Embassy siege in London in nineteen eighty, orberwarna was used to stun the six men who had taken twenty-six people hostage. The resulting fire damaged the building so severely that it did not reopen for thirteen years. This spell is mostly used by the military and has been in official service since the late nineteen seventies.
